Comment:
Dr. Tucker was a very nice man and good professor. he grades like nobody else, and doesn't post the grades on blackboard. if you go and ask him your grade he shows you a number that really means nothing to you and if you ask he doesn't answer. He relies on his TAs to grade and that is a hit or miss, for me it was a huge miss. Interesting class!

Comment:
Great guy, irritating professor. The book is graduate level and basically unreadable, he expects you to spend 10 hours on the homework (due every two weeks), and the tests are miserable. He does curve at the end of the year and loves to help you understand stuff, but his lectures are pretty rough to sit through.

Comment:
GREAT teacher. He's so friendly and easy to approach. I'd definitely recommend him. I wouldn't call his class a slack course, but he's always willing to help his students and he's really intelligent. He keeps the classroom relaxed and fun and is all smiles. I'm sad that the class is over.

Comment:
Dr. Tucker is very knowledgeable. Class is a lot of material and, it's hard. Tucker makes it as understandable as possible. HW assignments are extremely long and quite hard but help a lot in learning the material. Exams are hard but fair, you gotta study. Any professor you take for this class is going to be hard, I would take Tucker.

Good professor. Show up to labs and do the weekly homeworks. Tests aren't too bad. I never attended lecture and didn't even study for them that much and pulled an A- in the class with help from labs, etc. He's a friendly, good teacher, concerned for the environment.

he does not tell you what is on the tests, he is boring but knows what he is talking about. Only take his class if you like science and already know a great deal about it! Don't expect this to be an easy gened class.

I don't know if I just liked Tucker cause he reminded me of my Grandpa... but I think he's a great professor. He knows what he's talking about. Lectures are def. boring but stay awake! You really have to study for the tests and the homeworks can be hard if you don't convince your TA to do help sessions, but I learned a lot in this class.

tuckers a good guy - his lectures can be a little boring, but he knows the material wee, is up to date and is always willing to help. Problem sets generally lack information and take a while to complete. Good teacher, OK class

This class is fairly easy and there is only two in class exams. The benchscale was only worth 20, kinda sucks.

Level of difficulty depends on the class, not this professor. His lectures can be boring, but: he tries to make it interesting, he makes things very clear, and he's very helpful. Take 'em if you can! I had him for 4 classes so far.

Boring class, but only because of the material, he's very funny. Tough projects but he's fair and willing to help students. Highly recommend him for anything he's teaching.
